Flag bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has chastised persons who only find their voice to criticise government when the NDC is in office.
He says there are some social commentators who lose their voices the moment the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is in power, describing such persons as hypocrites whose actions are those pulling the nation back.
Speaking to party faithful at the St. Paul’s Anglican Church at Alogboshie in the Okaikoi North constituency Sunday, September 15, 2024, as part of his phase two tour of the Greater Accra region, John Mahama was confident that those who have lost their voices under this administration will recover from whatever ailment they are going through the moment the NDC comes to power.
He advised that irrespective of who is in power, people should be truthful and speak whether it is good or bad.
“Wait and see that after NDC wins power, those who had toothache and could not speak about this NPP administration will suddenly get their toothaches vanished. Those with headache who couldn’t speak against the NPP government will also get healed the moment NDC comes to power because they will get paracetamol to take.
“So, you’ll hear them talking anyhow; ‘where are the wise men? Come and save this nation’ amongst others. These are the reasons this nation is not progressing. Hypocrisy is what is pulling this nation back. If we see the truth, if it’s black it’s black, if it’s white, it is white, it doesn’t matter who is in office, we must be truthful at all times,” he stated.
He bemoaned the NPP administration’s abysmal performance, saying the level of greed and corruption would have caused a coup d’etat if the NDC was the party in power.
“With the level of corruption, thievery and greed that has gone on under this administration, I am telling you that if it was an NDC government, by now, the military would have ousted this administration. I am saying it and that is the truth,” he reemphasised.
